Lincoln Keith Ingersoll CM (30 June 1914 – 16 December 1993) was a Canadian teacher, writer, historian and museum director.
While still in his teens he started contributing local news items to the Saint Croix Courier, a weekly newspaper published in St. Stephen, New Brunswick.
[1] A prolific writer and author of several books, Ingersoll wrote that other than manual labour in the Grand Manan fisheries, "everything I have done by way of employment, or community service, since that early beginning in journalism has been made easier by my intimate acquaintance with the typewriter".
The official citation called him a "treasure trove of the history of his home community of Grand Manan and of the province of New Brunswick", and stated that "his writings have illuminated the past, while his enthusiasm as a teacher, columnist and curator has instilled in others, especially young people, an appreciation and interest in the Canadian mosaic".
A major expansion of the Grand Manan Museum in 1998 was named the L. Keith Ingersoll Memorial Wing in his honour.
